Very nice setup. I will buy the tires if you don't find a buyer for the set.

Will these sizes fit a C6Z w/o physical fitment issues?

I had no fitment issues. I never ran the michelins though, always ran hoosiers or Toyo's 315/30/18 front and 345/30/18 rear without issues[/IMG

i have the same setup on my car and run with no issues, i dont not have mine lowered significantly though.

they are awesome tires, beware once you run them you wont want to go back!

if you dont run in competition mode it will kick on then engine drag thing since the rears are taller then stockers. otherwise no problems


good luck with sale buddy.

Hey Derek - what were you running when we were at Road America this past summer; your Michelins or Hoosiers?

Hi Everret, Dereck was running the Michelins at Road America. The same set up as me. Those tires are awesome.

Do the same alignment recommendations apply for the Michelin racing slicks that apply for Hoosiers? These are from Pfadt:

Front:
Camber (deg) -2.8 to -3.0
Caster (deg) 6.5 to 7.5
Toe -1/16" to 0
Rear
Camber (deg) -1.5 to -1.7
Toe -1/8" to -1/16"

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks Mike - I did not realize you too were on Michelins. So you like them eh? I would sure like to get a set someday.

That is one gorgeous looking Vette. I thought the first photo was a Hamman-Design Ferrari F430.

Either way, your ride looks sick.
